I purchased these shorts during the buy one get one contract killer sale, so I wasn't too upset about the lack of quality, but I do feel now that I could have chosen more wisely. The shorts came to me in fine condition, but after one slight, accidently, brush with the velcro, the stitching pulled out extremely badly. I have trained in these shorts a few times now, and while the durability of the shorts seems sturdy, the fact that the stitching is fraying and the drawstring is falling apart makes me disinclined to recommend this product to anyone.On a more positive note, I have started wearing these shorts to go out running, and they are perfect. Very light, very breathable, the velcro waist is kind of strange for running, but hey it ensures a tight fit.All in all, I feel that these shorts are 'okay' but when not on sale I feel that the regular price is a tad steep for the quality of the product.

I purchased these shorts before my last fight the end of june. I noticed the stitching on the right leg was starting to come undone. Then it unraveled about a three inch length of stitch. Then the velcro came unstitched also

Great shorts, used for Jiu Jitsu, very lightweight and also still feel durable. I really like the updated design from the previous series, sublimated graphics look sharp. Also, the stretch enclosure in the velcro front is a nice feature, no worries about accidentally velcroing any valuables! Overall, high quality shorts, recommend for training or bummin around the house.
